    WHITE LOTUS Creator Mike White Says Season 3 Stars "Rival" Jennifer Coolidge's "Iconic" Performance [HBO] (Jan. 30)

    Getting rid of Coolidge was the best thing for that show.

    I have no idea why she's so lauded and celebrated. She's incredibly off-putting, her acting style basically boils down to her squinting like she's trying to read something far away, and whining a lot. She's not attractive and has a voice only slightly less grating than Fran Drescher, yet Hollywood
    treats her like she's the next Meryl Streep or something.

    As far as I'm concerned, she peaked in AMERICAN PIE as Stifler's Mom.

    And I still haven't watched one of these shows all season!...

    I typically only watch PD but when I fired up this week's episode, it told me that it was Part 3 of a crossover event, so I had to dig up the FIRE and MED episodes and watch them first so I would know what the hell was going on.

    She's got it going on!

    Her screen character is intentionally off-putting. Success! I don't find
    her to be entertaining either.

    Coolidge was probably best in "Legally Blonde", FWIW. I think it's been
    all downhill from that.
